Sweet Sea was produced by Tomy in 1985. It was a very short lived sea themed series which included one doll, four friends, fashion, cosmetic accessories by Avon, jewellery and a 30-min animated video. i must tell you however, it's anime-influenced cause tms entertainment made it, veteran osamu dezaki made it and vestron video's children's video library made it. it's fun to riff because all our favorite tv show characters from the late 90s and early-mid 2000s learned to do it too. you know which ones i'm talking bout willis. shows that currently rerun on mtv2 and fuse and fuse music.
